Over the last ten years, Dusty "O" has become one of the best known alternative DJs in the world. Playing in twenty-five countries across four continents, Dusty has played to literally millions of people in the fifteen years he has been DJ'ing.

Originally from the Midlands of England, Dusty moved to London in 1990 after completing college courses in English, History and Drama and running his own shop, called "Trojans", in Birmingham. During his time in Birmingham, Dusty established a reputation as an innovator in fashion and ran his own popular club night, "The Pink Panther", every Wednesday at Goldwyn's night club for two years. Birmingham proved too small a town for Dusty, so he moved south to London.

After stints working for cosmetics companies, Dusty began a year long sojourn working for fashion legend Zandra Rhodes at her Grafton Street shop. The early starts were a bit too much for Dusty though, as by now he had sunk himself into the London club culture. He needed something more flexible to enable him to live the lifestyle he wanted and so began a four year appointment working for London Lighthouse, an HIV and AIDS unit in West London. The shift work enabled him to club and also the seriousness and importance of the work acted as a natural counterbalance to Dusty's hedonistic alter-ego.

Gradually during this time, Dusty became more involved in the work side of clubbing, atarting off on the door of club giant "Pushca" and with Wayne Shires in various venues across the captial. Soon, Dusty was DJ'ing at Leicester Square fashionista haunt "Bambina" and also at Heaven's "Bang" and in the Powder Room at "Fruit Machine". This was followed by a seven year stint every sunday at The Limelight and a year long residency at Jeremy Joseph's "G-A-Y". Dusty was also hosting and running his own nights such as "International Glamour Puss" at Freedom, "Chickstix" at the Hanover Grand and "Love Lounge" at Ormonds, where Dusty hosted and organised a series of highly successful and high profile parties for Boy George, The Pet Shop Boys and Jean-Paul Gaultier. Tuesday night was taken up (and still is) by "Don't Call Me Babe" at The Ghetto. This seven year phenomenon is still going strong and is still as popular, as is Dusty's three year residency at Heaven's monday nighter, "Popcorn", where Dusty plays to a crowd of two thousand on the main floor between 10pm and 1am. Dusty also holds a five year monthly residency at Radost in Prague and has just finished a year long, highly successful run at Envy in Brighton. He played monthly for two years at the Ministry of Sound's VIP room and has had stints at The Fridge in Brixton, hosing eight parties called "QRS" and many, many other one-off and short run club nights.

Dusty currently writes a bi-weekly column for Britain's biggest gay magazine, BOYZ, and also wrote for two years for the satirical gay rag, DNA.

The press have featured Dusty "O" extensively over the years. Dusty has appeared no less then six times on the cover of BOYZ and twice on the cover of QX. National papers such as The Express, The Standard and The Mirror have also all featured articles on Dusty, some of which are in the press section of this site. He has also featured on many TV shows such as "Good Morning", "Esther", "100%", "God's Gift", "Lie Detector", "London Tonight" and also had cameo appearances in "Gimme, Gimme, Gimme" and several Culture Club and Boy George videos. A half hour documentary has also been made on fashion sense and his extensive collection of Westwood clothes by Channel Four.
